IN The crowd at the Exposition yester-
day was one of the largest, thus far, of
the season, being fully equal, if not sur
passing the attendance of last Saturday.
1t was very well behaved and repre-
sentative gathering largely composed of
people from outside points. There were
distinctive groups which had all the ap-
pearance of people who had dubbed to-
gether in party and had come to town
to see all the sights. There were
abrawny, well-dressed men who had
tanned hands and faces and the appear
ance of being well-tO-dO farmers, and
like all good family men their wives
were along and the children too. 1t
was the day set apart in honor of the
yOtaries of the bicycle, but so far as
those gentlemen were concerned they
did not make much of an appearance
till nightfall, when their lantern process
sion Of machines drew out large and
enthusiastic crowd.
The attention of the management yes
terday was chiefly given to perfecting
the arrangements for to-day, as this
promises to be one of the greatest events
of the whole Exposition, and it is con-
fidently expected that Military day will
cap the climax in the matter of attend
ance.
THE PROGRAMME
in the main has been set forth in the
GLOBE, but for the information Of those
who did not see it, it as follows: All
outside troops will be met at the several
hni otrizr fn

to 60 as they will until 7:15 p. M, when
they are requested to be at the armory

Addresses will be delivered by
Col. Co3ville, the hero of Gettysburg,
Chaplain O'Neill, of the old First regi-
ment, and other speakers of prominence.
In the interims Liberati's band will
play a magnificent programme. A slight
idea of what musical treat this will be
can be imagined by these few selections
from the full list to be given. The
grand military opening will be the
famous leader himself. The cornet
solo that Liberati will deliver will be
the beautiful and popular SOLDIERS
FAREWELL" and the conclusion will be a
rendition of the great military tattoo as
performed by the united bands in Ber-
lin, Germany, before Kaiser William.
In the evening the band will commence
with the new and popular piece ell
titled ''Boulanger's March," Her Stolz
will play as he alone can on the from
bone 'Let Me Like Soldier Fall"
The trombone Quartette will play the
soldiers chorus from 'tFaust" and in his
bring the concert to an end by cOrnet
solo, ''The Battle CRY of Freedom"
~ NOTES.

that Liberati is noble of Mecca Temple of
the Mystic Shrine of the Arabic order A. F.
and A. M. His brethren Of Zahrah temple
in this city, will give him a reception Mon
day evening and the band will be dressed in

the old First regiment. And still the veter-
ans come.
Over 1900 people visited the Exposition
Newspaper day.
GIVE YOUR BOYS A CHANCE.
A group of young men were observed
of penmanship, pen drawing and en-
crossing work from the CurtisS Bust
ness college yesterday, when a by
stander said: "Oh, pshaw! that amt
done with a pen" At this one of the
young men stepped forward and re-
marked, Eyes, sir; that is pen work. 1
am graduate of this college, and sew
eral of my companions there are too,
and we have seen Prof. Curtiss and his
teachers and pupils do that very work.
If you will notice." continued the young
man, ''the basis Of all this work is its
practical, business simplicity; no fancy
Curtiss himself, complete in bold orig
inality and design possessed by no other
college in the land. Why, could name
hundreds who were at one time students
of the CurtisS college and are now sue
ceSSful business men, scattered through
Dakota, Minnesota and the far West.
No, sir. Prof. CurtiSS, don't exhibit any
thing not his own.' At this the young
men moved on, leaving their listeners
to ponder over the fact that ''what has
been done can be done again." The
testimony Of scores of young business
men as to the efficiency of CurtiSS' col
lege is daily heard as being the most
thorough and practical place for young
men to acquire a business education
there is in the West. The old saw that
education is the lever that moves the
world" is as true to-day as ever, but it
should be amended SO as to read: GA
business education is the lever" etc.
The commercial value of Prof. Curtiss'
penmanship lies in the fact that leading
publishers of standard books are striv-
ing to gain possession of his original
designs, to be photo-engraved as title
pages.
WHEELMEN AND TRAVELLING MEN.
The Exposition last night was in a
gala state, as there was triple bill
gone through. The wheelmen's pro-
cessiOn was very long and very hand
some. as far as the decorations of the
machines were concerned. The travel
Knights of the Grip participated, made
a splendid showing en- route to
the Exposition, headed by the
Chaska orchestra. At the Exposition
they were addressed in very neat
speech of warm welcome by his honor,
Mayor Ames. w. G. Corbit replied on
behalf of the travelling men of this city,
and j. F. Jordan spoke on behalf of st.
Paul. In the absence of Manager Pal
mer Secretary Byron spoke for the
management and after that the meeting,
which was purely an informal one,
broke up and the gentlemen of
good time. The fireworks were very
fine and again witnessed by an immense
crowd. The set piece was Buffalo Bill
doing up bisons on the wild Western
prairie, and was especially fine. Mr..
Palmer desires it to be widely known
that Saturday evening, after 6 o'clock,
G. A. r. men will be allowed in on their
badges free, as Saturday will be their
special day, and the fireworks on that
